I WONDER WHO'S UNDER HER BALCONY NOW
(Harry Gifford / Fred E Cliffe / George Formby)
as recorded by George Formby
October 22nd 1938
Things have gone wrong
With my love song,
I'm not serenading tonight.
In my place there's somebody new,
Doin' the things that I oughta do!
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissing my girl?
Will he kiss her under the nose,
Or underneath the archway where the Sweet William grows?
If he's French and gets too free,
I hope a bulldog bites him in the place it bit me!
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissin' my girl?
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissing my girl?
Will he kiss her under the nose,
Or underneath the archway where the Sweet William grows?
I will bet ten to one
There's not a thing that he can do that I haven't done!
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissin' my girl?
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissin' my girl?
Will he kiss her under the nose,
Or underneath the porchway where the Sweet William grows
May he fall, feel a wreck,
And stagger home with half the trellis work round his neck!
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissin' my girl?
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissing my girl?
Will he kiss her under the nose,
Or underneath the archway where the Sweet William grows?
I hope he catches the lot
When she empties out her old geranium pot!
I wonder who's under her balcony now,
Who's kissin' my girl?
